Is Google Smart or What?

Earlier this week a new website went up. It is usgovernmentrevenue.com. It uses the technology developed for usgovernmentspending.com and applies to it government taxes and revenue.

Announcing usgovernmentrevenue.com!

Now you can go to usgovernmentrevenue.com and get the scoop on government receipts for all governments, federal, state, and local in the United States. Right now the data is complete for 1970 to 2013. Our crack data analysis team is extending the reach of the data by ten years every day. So tonight we should have data back from 1960 online.

And you can get all the graphs and charts you could imagine.

This is the website that could save the planet.

Of course, as soon as we got the domain name propagated across the internet, our crack sitemap team at usgovernmentrevenue.com immediately set up a site map and sent it to Google.

Oh all right. I admit it. That’s not quite true. We tried to set up the site with Google about 8 hours after the usgovernmentrevenue.com domain had been created and ran into a brick wall. The servers at Google said they’d never heard of it. So we had to wait a couple of hours for Google’s domain servers to catch up. Imagine!

Today is a day which will live in history.

Today the first Google Search was recorded on SiteMeter. Amazing, you might say, for a site up only a few days. How did the eager searcher have the patience to dig down through pages and pages of search results to find usgovernmentrevenue.com?

Ah, ye of little faith. Have you no confidence in Google?

Someone did a search for “historical federal revenues graph” and Google put usgovernmentrevenue.com as the #1 search item.

Is Google smart or what? They just know what’s important.
